Thank you to ALL of you. I can't tell you how amazing it was to give the gift to Melanie and show her the list with ALL of your names on it. I think she was really impressed to see how many of you took the time out to contribute to something so meaningful. I'm proud of you!

Aside from that thoughâ€¦ thank you for participating. Honestlyâ€¦ It's always been my dream to meet Melanieâ€¦ and because you contributed to this gift, it actually happened. I don't really know what else to say - but the money spent, the hours spent, the super glue applied, and the lack of sleepâ€¦ it was all worth it. I'll never forget when Melanie took a deep breath when she started to turn through the pages and she said "What a great memory this is!" (She was on Kimie's page at the timeâ€¦) So thank youâ€¦ you guys rockâ€¦ I'll hold onto the memories forever!

Love, Becca

I just wanted to thank YOU ALL for contributing to this fantastic gift for Melanie. It has been a LOT of work, a LOT of stress, time, money and WHAT NOT- but every last piece of it has been worth it. I have had the most fun doing this and I would do it again in a heart beat. Receiving mail from everyone was more fun than any one could know- "WOW somethign from Greece, WOW something from Germany, england, Canada" you get the idea. it was awesome. I got to know so many ppl and that is amazing. I KNOW that melanie loved/ will LOVE this (since its in england right now ) You should all LOVE the feeling of knowing that melanie will see your beautiful faces and things that represent YOU and what you're all about. Also, thank you for all of the "side notes" and gifts, they are all so sweet and none of you had to do that. I have everything sorted out now finally and I'm going to put it all together in a nice little binder. Then i'm going to bring it to Michigan in 3 weeks when i go see Becca! My family has got to see everything and they are so impressed- so I think Becca's family should get to see how much appreciation we got as well.

And now a few very SPECIAL thank yous.

Firstly everyone i met in canada- you were all so so so kind- so enthusiastic about the gift and making sure we got it to melanie. You are all fantastic ppl and I'm glad we are all friends I know I will see you all again I must say especially Anna (and becca but she gets her own thing haha). I'm sure ppl are able to see that the 3 of us got really close really fast. I'm lucky to have you girls in my life now. I love you both to death! And Anna I will see you in a few months- Orlando will ROCK. Congratulations to YOU big time on finishing this entire tour- I am so proud of you.

Becca- thank you SO much for being my partner in crime with this entire thing- we had a blast and I wouldnt change anything about it! You are an amazing person and you have so much going for you. I feel so lucky to have met you and i truly consider you one of my best friends now. Thank you for sharing this amazing exsperience with me and I'm SO happy that you finally met melanie and had the time of your life seeing her at the concerts. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks and definitely looking forward to many more adventures ahead of us

And of course thank you to Melanie (even tho she wont see this) for giving us the inspiration to create something so amazing. If it wasn't for sure OBVIOUSLY none of this would happen. I am so thankful and more than anything at this point I am glad that because of her I was linked to other ppl, i have made amazing friends around the world and I know they are true...it's an amazing thing. I could list so many ppl but that would be too hard and i MIGHT leave some ppl out!

so- THANK YOU GUYS

Love,Judy Ann

here are all of the WONDERFUL things ppl sent us- letters, notes, stickers, you name it! You all know who you are:

Thanks for putting this together, Judy and Becca. With all the time and dedication put into creating this, you were both well deserving to meet Melanie and show her something that, hopefully, she'll keep and appreciate forever. Pft, of course she will! It was a great idea and we all loved being a part of it! Thanks!

yeah, me too. This gift has been a great experience for me. I mean, I really feel like I've bonded with people in this little group in a way that I haven't in the nearly two years I've been a member here. And now a Spice Girl has something I made...there are so many pluses!

Becca and Judy, you girls are awesome, thank YOU.for thinking of such a brilliant idea, and for making May 7 and 8 a very great experience. you know how happy I am for you guys and Anna to have met Melanie. I can't imagine how she felt when you guys gave her the gift. I've said it before and I've said it before, it was GREAT meeting you guys. I hope to see you sometime in the future.you truly deserved everything.

Awww Judy. I am so lucky to have met you. (and Becca..you TOO!) You guys put a ton of work into the gift. And Im sure Melanie loved it.

I cannot wait until you come to Florida! We are gonna live it up in the sunshine state! And you will be there to protect me from bums...lol. Oh wait.. it will be Orlando..not Vancouver. Thanks for everything! I love ya to death!

That's the sweetest thing ever. Thank YOU once again, you girls worked so hard to put together our pages, you don't know how much I appreciate that! You are two of my favourites people in here, and you really deserved to meet Melanie, I'm so glad this gift gave you the opportunity to make one of your dreams come true(I know Judes had met Melanie before, but I'm sure that she enjoyed her second meeting as much as the first one! eheh)!I'm very proud of you girls and I'm happy I had the honour of taking part in such an amazing project. Thank you everybody!

Awwww! I think WE have to say thank you more than you, because you received the packages, did the pages, did the special things, the artistic Red Girl Logo and went to Canada to complete the mission. I really had a good time in this secret subforum seeing everyones pages and waiting for you to come back and tell us the whole story, it was a great time and it happened because you were enough crazy to do it haha And of course I'm so happy for you that the mission succeeded and you could meet Melanie, you deserved it for all you did during this past months. I feel honoured that I could participate on this, really.

And well, about the thing I made...that is my particular way to say thank you!

awww Judes and Becca you guys are so sweet!!it was great meeting you two for the short while it was but I feel honored to know such great people as yourselves, this gift was such an amazing idea and I'm so glad i was apart of it, my friends all thought i was crazy but i didn't care because i knew in the end Melanie would get it and LOVE it! Thank you guys for all the hard work you put into it, what we did is nothing compared to the effort you guys put into it. I will definetly miss this secret forum but at least all of us now have this bond that'll last forever!
